- Law of Conservation of Complexity
- In cryptography and security engineering, strong-default security raises operational complexity in key management and recovery, while permissive defaults shift it to incident response and breach remediation.
This sourceDocuments that secure-by-default design relocates complexity rather than removing it — strong cryptographic defaults push operational burden onto key management, recovery, and API ergonomics, while permissive defaults push it onto incident response — supporting the security-engineering instance of complexity allocation.
